Counting Little Geckos is a dream come true. I bought a few copies of this little gem as Christmas gifts for my children, grandson and autistic nephew. What an unexpected surprise! From its delightfully animated illustrations, to its engaging story Counting Little Geckos is unlike any other counting book out there.
My thirteen year old loved the illustrated antics of all those little rascals. After a year and a half, its still the book my grandson asks my daughter to read several times a day, and its the only book he insists on taking to bed with him.
There is a special charm the illustrations possess, a liveliness and comfort, a joy and silliness. The characters are uniquely portrayed peeking out of cactuses and watering cans, somersaulting over hats, climbing rocking horses... I could go on, but I wouldn't want to spoil your surprise!
I will leave you with this thought and let you decide. It's become the number one most requested book for the Little Flowers of Hope school, a center for children of special needs. It remains a special favorite not only among the students, but among teachers and parents alike. |

My daughters #1 Favorite Book, August 13, 2006
Some how this is the only book that my easily bored daughter has liked for the entirety of her 9 month life. Great illustrations and good rhyming. |

I love board books!! I'll be so sad when my baby is no longer a baby and we'll have no need for fun books such as "Counting Little Geckos" by Charline Profiri and illustrated by Sherry Rogers.
This adorable pint size book features 10 little geckos. It starts with "Look! A gecko having fun. Rain won't stop this little one." The rhyming is cute and creative and the colors are interesting because they are more earthy colors, yet intriguing to the little one's eyes!
A gift from friends from afar, this book holds a special place in our hearts!

Sandy: The Gecko book is the cutest counting book I have ever read to my children! We have been practicing numbers and reading a lot of counting books.

Sheryll Hoeberg, Special Education Teacher, '1...2...a counting book for you!'
'Geckos run, peek, exercise and play tag while Mother Gecko watches. Many activities that young children choose and can identify with. Adults will enjoy the use of numbers with rhyme and appreciate the illustrator’s expressive Gecko characters dancing across the pages to grab their child’s attention. The repetition of the counting task is an appropriate rehearsal and encourages the young child to open this colorful book again and again. A delightful addition to a young child’s library. Sturdy construction of this board book is a bonus.'

Counting Little Geckos abounds with personalities. Throughly enjoy going through this book time after time because the little Geckos are so full of personality.

Kathleen Exum, A reviewer, Learning made fun
This is one of the most clever, cute learning books I have seen for a long time. The illustrations are eyecatching and colorfully done. As a grandmother I love reading to my grandchildren and this little book even caught my attention.

This story is a fun experience for young readers, enlivened by the colorful characters. The board book format holds up well under little fingers that can't resist pointing at the geckos!
